hosted email/webspace - must be GDPR compliant - located in the EU
Im searching for a provider for a small company to host their website there. Emails should also be hosted there. However, this can also be an additional provider with a good spam filter and clean IP address. Hosting provider must be registered in the EU. German-speaking support preferred but not a must. Server location within the EU.

Hi
Cranemail 👀
didn't ionos/strato work out last time?
Deluxhost had recently small VPS offers (AMS) or they have webhosting too I think?
Last time?
Over a year ago you mean?
ye you asked once already
tbh, other than ionos and strato I wouldn't recommend anything else from Germany, they are the only 2 I would trust my business with
although we are using microsoft 365 + aws ourselves
Hetzner & netcup?
ovh? or

Another option (not hosted but just to raise awareness) is get yourself any VPS, self-host whatever stack you like (mail-in-a-box, mailcow, poste etc) + get SMTP relay from MXroute, Crane whatever. So, you are going to store your email in whatever location your VPS is but use reputable relays to send it.
CH German speaking

If only you were registered in the EU...
No option in this case since the user I'm searching is this for can't handle a vps and there are pretty good solutions out there. @NameCrane are you gdpr compliant?
all-inkl.com
if you order, i have a partnerlink as well
I would go with https://mailbox.org/en/ - the guy behind that company named "Peer Heinlein" wrote a book about Postfix. He seems to be some kind of a name in this industry.

Mailbox.org have great plans for private usage, their business plans consist of a support package to choose from and the amount of mailboxes you need. You can combine different plans of mailboxes.
All future-proof e-mail features (DKIM, DMARC, etc.) are supported.
I haven't tried their business plans yet, but the private plans are super chill.
If saving €5 per month is not a priority and being located in Germany is highly desired I'd get a netcup VDS plus an outside email relay. But as your customer can't handle a VPS I'd be lax on "should be in Germany" and look for a solution like e.g. protonmail. Well, theoretically because practically I'd simply get them a decent VDS and admin it for them if customer is (almost) a friend, or simply say "thanks, no, look elsewhere" otherwise.
this may all be true so far. however, what is also true is that everyone should check the neutrality of the provider for themselves. the aforementioned provider describes itself as a political provider and defines exclusion criteria for people / beliefs that are not allowed to use its services. however, how the provider checks this in detail without looking into the mail content in order to recognize the beliefs of its users is not clear to me and the aforementioned provider has never publicly commented on how it carries out the beliefs checks.
the aforementioned provider may well be good from a technical point of view, various basic publications probably also come from the environment and these are not the subject of this criticism. the appearance as a political provider seems to be probematic here.
I use mailbox.org then moving to fastmail because they don't properly implement the DKIM DMARC, take a look at their forum (german) a lot of user waiting years after years.
Thanks for the comments, I will have a look into it!
